    I'm going to ask here, does anyone got any friends that work at TRU Canada? If so would you be willing to ask them to look up the supposed leaked listings that came from their in store system? If you could provide Product numbers or barcode numbers or even prove the list's legitimacy, PM me. The Hasbro product number should Start with E than a series of numbers.

    the rumored list

    TRA GEN WFC E Deluxe Exhaust
    TRA GEN WFC E Deluxe Greasepit
    TRA GEN WFC E Voyager Thrust
    TRA GEN WFC E Voyager Seeker 2 pack
    TRA GEN WFC E "Future Deluxe"
    TRA GEN WFC E Clone pack

    TRA GEN Selects Hubcap
    TRA GEN Selects Rotorstorm
    TRA GEN Selects Hothouse
    TRA GEN Selects Mercenary "Bu"
    TRA GEN Selects Roritchi

    I still have G1 Hoist.

    He did have a focus episode of sorts with Grapple in "The Master Builders".

    Just broke a peg on my brand new Grapple. The pegs that attach the crane piece to the bottoms of his feet in vehicle mode seem to be soft and one of the holes was extremely tight. Trying to unpeg it straight ripped the peg off and it's lodged in the hole.

    All of this. I had G1 Hoist as well. Earthrise is a must buy for me.


    Warpath should be a voyager class figure. He's a tank and was appropriately sized in the cartoon. I hope Hasbro ignores the original G1 toy class size.

    I can’t look at that now without thinking Jotaro bridge. How did I miss this episode because I don’t remember it at all.

    Quick update, went back to the Target and luckily they had another Grapple on the shelf so I exchanged it. The new Grapple has the same problem though. The peg hole in the bottom of his right foot is extremely tight, and the pegs that go in the hole are hollow so there's not a lot of structural integrity to it, making it easy to tear the peg off if you do anything but pull straight away, or pull too hard.

    The pegs are visible in robot mode, so I don't want to sand that down, and the holes are hexagonal ones so that'll be tough to widen out. Think I'll be leaving Grapple in bot mode until I decide what to do. Other than this flaw, it's a really nice figure and I'm very happy with him!

    do you think filling the hollow pegs would help reinforce them?

    I'm guessing for Starscream and thrust, means a lot of selects or multipacks.

    Thinking I might crank out a few posts to put some distance between me and the Hoist joke everyone's mad about.
